Default Switchback almost complete
Just waiting on black rear shocks(progressive 444's) and getting my engine covers powder coated flat black. Just hard cause it's in the 70's almost year round and I wanna ride. These things are money pits.. I posted my bike when I bought off the showroom floor in case you were wondering what they look like stock.

Love the front end. It's funny how what appeals to me changes with time.. 2 years ago I thought the switchback was ugly as hell and never would buy one.. And now I catch myself drooling over the pics you posted! Nice bike I absolutely love the black and dark blue combo and the front end kicks ***.

I feel ya, I hate how they look on the showroom floor. I had it all planned out before I bought it what I wanted mine to look like. Almost there.

Bike looks sweet! Also, I love the blacked out front end. Question for the switchback guys, do they make covers that hide the struts and bag attachment area much like you see on the Street Glides?

I am not sure. I will have to look into that, would really clean it up though that is for sure.
